I think a bit about accounting, and also ask - if companies are asking *human beings* to control their AI token costs, doesn't that mean we've given up (for the time being) on the idea that machines can replace humans? backofmind.substack.com/p/tokenalysi...

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
